Directors’ Service Agreements/Terms Of Appointment

Our employment solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with directors’ service agreements.

Contracts with directors or senior executives often require a detailed approach to reflect their level of responsibility and to protect the business. This is typically achieved by way of a service agreement.

Directors’ responsibilities often include having access to confidential information, trade secrets and the client/customer base of a business. This means it is crucial to put protections in place through the service agreement, such as through the use of post termination restrictions and provisions relating to confidential information.

Our employment solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with directors’ service agreements including providing bespoke agreements to reflect the needs of a particular business, through the use of a detailed questionnaire. We also advise both employers and employees on the implementation and enforcement of service agreements.

Recent examples of our work in this area include:

• Drafting board level service agreements and consultancy agreements for an energy supplier
• Advising a large wholesale company in respect of its directors’ service agreements
• Putting in place complex bonus arrangements for the directors of a large retail company
• Assisting our commercial litigation colleagues with the enforcement of restrictive covenants, including applications for injunctions and search and seize orders
